The establishment media, BAN and Webb are all lost in plurality psychology of division.
There are indeed many Independent candidates for President, including some who ran in 2012, as part of a United Coalition of all parties and independents.
But they continue their sad song of “there are no independent candidates” and “the system is broken”.
Go ahead and sing your sad song and meanwhile the United Coalition will conrinue to grow and improve despite the cry babies and believe it or not we’ve doing it for more than 20 years and it works fine.
We are able to shine and coordinate on more and more geographical levels and regions and pure proportional representation is the reason why we love being united and working together with other team players.

James Ogle, I honestly don’t understand why you persist in posting about your made-up parliament on Ballot Access News nearly every day. No one cares about it besides you. Move on.
Jim Webb would be an attractive independent candidate and I hope he runs, but it will be a formidable and expensive ballot access campaign to be able to run in all 50 states. Too bad that Americans Elect is not active this campaign cycle.
Eleven states have a ballot-qualified centrist party that might conceivably want to nominate Jim Webb, if he runs. They are Delaware, Florida, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, and South Carolina. Also the Alaskan Independence Party and California’s American Independent Party might possibly want to nominate him although the leaders of these parties are very unpredictable.
The Connecticut Independent Party is ballot-qualified for all the statewide offices except president.
The California AIP is pro-life. Webb isn’t.
All in all, Webb might do a little bit better than Eugene McCarthy in 1976. Maybe getting 1-2 percent of the vote.
The California AIP seems to be looking for a role to play in the 2016 election, and may not necessarily apply a litmus test.
Richard- has anyone from his campaign contacted you? Do you have any reason to believe they know how difficult it is to run an independent campaign with regard to ballot access?
The United Coalition has two Green Party candidates for county level election on Tuesday (NY and VA), two Libertarian US Senate candidates (CA) and sixteen candidates for US President who have elected their own name to the team from across the nation, including five from California and three of those from here in Monterey County; LeVonne Stone [Democratic], James LeSage [Humanitarian] and James Ogle [Republican].
We have a video production team All Party System Co., founded by Roseanne Barr [Green Tea] in 2012 and we’re trying to produce videos about the unity as fast as possible and the quality is evolving with each sequence:

We also have a rich history going back to 1983 (Environmentalist Party), 1995 (Unity between Green and Environmentalist and the USA Parliament) and now an international unity movement.
We are all having fun, working together with candidates for elective office on multiple states, nationally and soon internationally as well, at current pace.
In the month of October we grew ten times faster with new sign ups than the previous ten month together. Our inclusion building structure allows for more and more involvement and that is the current trend.
